Hexofy Updates – Regex is here!

We just launched some exciting improvements to Hexofy today, making it not only the easiest web scraping app to use but one of the most powerful too ⚡.

⭐ Regular Expression Filters

Hexofy now allows you to filter data using regular expressions. This is a game-changer if a field you select contains multiple pieces of data or includes information you’d rather not keep.

Pro-tip, you can ask ChatGPT to create regular expressions for you based on the CSS selector Hexofy provides. Here is an example prompt:

Create a regular expression to capture text between ( )

This will provide the following:  \((.*?)\)

Now you can add this to your scraping recipe field to filter only the data that matters most.

⭐ Custom Elements Capture

You can now directly add custom elements to capture from a page using a CSS selector or XPath without having to click any field on a page. This powerful addition is a boon for the more technically inclined, ensuring you capture the right fields in the right format for complex use cases. The world of data is now truly your oyster.

We can’t wait to hear how you’re using these new features to capture and utilize data like never before. If you have any questions or need some guidance, our support team is here to help.

Thank you for being a part of our journey. Happy data hunting!
